Single-level livingYes — most homes hereOf the 14 homes sold here that listed which floor each room is on, 10 had every room on the main floor and no upstairs bathroom. That is the MLS’s own room data, not a description — ask us and we’ll walk a specific home with you.
What homes here sell for
Only one recorded sale here in the last 24 months — too few to call a typical range honestly. Ask us and we’ll pull the full sale history for this community. Elkhart County files these records annually, so the current year appears with a lag.
